COMBINATION-TOOL.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 404,001, dated May 28,1889. Application filed January 4, 1889. Serial No. 295,449. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, ELMER E. HEAOOCK, a citizen of the United States,residing at Straun, in the county of Coifey and State of Kansas, haveinvented certain new and useful Improvements in Combination-Tools; and Ido declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description ofthe invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which itappertains to make and use the same, reference being had to theaccompanying drawings, and to the letters and figures of referencemarked thereon, which form a part of this specification.

This invention relates to certain new and useful improvements incombination-tools; and it has for its object to generally improve uponthe construction and to render more serviceable in operation this classof devices.

The further and immediate object of the invention is to provide a toolof this class which shall embrace within a single element a wrench, ahammer, a tack or nail claw, and a tube-wrench.

The tool is simple and inexpensive in construction and both durable andeflicient in operation.

In the accompanying drawings, which form a partof this specification, Ihave illustrated a tool constructed in accordance with my invention.

In said drawings, Figure 1 is a perspective view of a tnol constructedin accordance with my invention. Fig. 2 is a central longitudinalsection of the same.

Reference being had to the details of the drawings by letter, Arepresents the stationary head or jaw of the wrench, and B the movablejaw sliding upon the bar C.

D is a lug or shoulder upon the bar 0, which serves to limit themovement of the movable jaw B.

E is a spring having one of its ends secured to the lower face of thedownwardly-projecting portion F of the movable jaw B, the free end ofsaid spring being adapted to move vertically in the recess a, formed inthe lower face of the extension F The free end of the spring E isprovided with a pin or projection,

1), adapted to engage the holes a, formed within the lower face of thebar 0. A suitable projection or handle, d, is provided upon the outerface of the spring, whereby the spring may be raised, so as to disengagethe pin upon its under face from its engagement with the holes in thebar 0 when it is desired to readjust the position of the movable jaw.

The fixed jaw A of the wrench is provided with an extension, G, thelower end of which extension is fashioned into a hammer-head, G and tackor nail claw G The outer end of the bar 0, which serves as a handle forthe wrench, hammer, and nailclaw described, is recessed, as shown at J,thus forming a convenient and serviceable tube-wrench.

The tube-wrench is intended for use in tightening or unscrewing screwthreaded cones or tubessuch, for instance, as the cone used uponfire-arms and the like. In use the hollowed or chambered portion of thewrench is fitted over the cone, as will be readily understood.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim to be new, and desireto secure by Letters Patent, is

The combination-tool herein described, the same consisting of a bar, 0,a stationary head, A, attached at one end of the bar, the extended endof said head being fashioned into a wrench-jaw and its opposite endprovided with a hammer-face and a tack or nail claw, a movable jaw, B,provided upon its lower face with extensions F and F as described, thespring E, having one of its ends attached to the extension F and itsfree end provided with a pin to engage holes formed in the lower face ofthe bar C, the stop D upon the bar C, to limit the movement of themovable jaw, and the tube-wrench J, formed in the end of the bar C,substantially as shown and described.

In testimony whereof Iaflix my signature in presence of two witnesses.

ELMER E. HEACOCK.
